In Remembrance of Billy

My hockey team from 1971 got together for a reunion in the fall.
Recently one of my classmates, Billy Corkery passed away. Pictured
here second from the left with other members of our class, Bobby
Muse on his right, Bob McNanama, Dave Hynes, Kevin Hampe on his
left, and me with Joey Bertagna in front. Hynes, Mac, and Billy were
one of the greatest lines to ever play at Harvard, the "Local Line" or
"ABC" line. Billy was from Arlington, Mac from Belmont and Hynes
from Cambridge. They were all heroes to me.

AlphonseLantern

This Black Walnut and Douglas Fir Lantern was made
in celebration of my friend Alex's 60th birthday
and his Dad's funeral on the same day. Dr. Mac
was 94 and an amazing guy. His light shines on.

Treehouse Door Window

The Stained Glass window was made last week during a
class at Yestermorrow Design School with renowned
artist Larry Ribbecke. The work of FLW was the
inspiration.

Sally's Reading Lamp

This is a lamp I made for our friend Sally Taylor, who has been a source of wisdom and strength in our lives. She needed some light between two chairs she uses for reading and sewing. The design is a Frank Lloyd Wright
inspired creation. Ellie went to nearby stream to find the rocks for the base.

De Rhodes Lamp

The De Rhodes Lamp has a base made from Padouk and a stem from
Douglas Fir. The corners are mahogany strips. There is a standard socket
near the top and a candleabra socket inside the stem. Once again I was inspired by the designs of Frank Lloyd Wright and the Prairie style.$200

Sugar House Lantern

The roof on this reminds me
of a Vermont sugar house
that has vents for the steam
in the upper roof. It is mostly
Tiger Maple with some
Mahogany. Frank Lloyd Wright
did some lanterns for the
Cheney House that also
had some influence.$250

Robie Table Lamp

This is an Arts & Crafts style lamp with Prairie influences, made from Padouk and Douglas Fir wood, Spectrum stained glass and 4 candleabra socket lights. My inspiration was Frank Lloyd Wright and the Robie House.$400
